Hi, One of my requirement is to use Infragistics with SyntaxEditor of Actipro's intellisense. SyntaxEditor provides the user-friendly operations like intellisense to select the object type and so on. 1) I need to integrate it with Ultragrid. Can it be done ? 2) Can SyntaxEditor used as textbox within Ultragrid of Ingragistics (windows control)? following is the code. . [DefaultProperty("DataType")] public class DataTypeEditTextBox : ActiproSoftware.SyntaxEditor.SyntaxEditor, IProvidesEmbeddableEditor { private EmbeddableImageRenderer imageRendererExternal = null; #region IProvidesEmbeddableEditor Members EmbeddableEditorBase IProvidesEmbeddableEditor.Editor { get { return this.ImageRendererExternal; } } #endregion internal protected EmbeddableImageRenderer ImageRendererExternal { get { if (this.imageRendererExternal == null) { this.imageRendererExternal = new EmbeddableImageRenderer(); } return this.imageRendererExternal; } } } currently I am just trying to use EmbeddableImageRenderer to support EmbeddableEditorBase IProvidesEmbeddableEditor.Editor property. ultragrid1_InitializeLayout has following code. { ... e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["DataType"].Style = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ColumnStyle.Edit; ... e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns["DataType"].EditorControl = _syntaxEditor; } here DataTypeEditTextBox _syntaxEditor = new DataTypeEditTextBox(); please respond if someone has tried this. thanks Paresh
Hi Paresh,
I am not familiar with SyntaxEditor. But I don't see how what you have here can possibly work. There is no easy way to simply embed a control in the grid. It looks like you have started to try to implement IProvidesEmbeddableEditor here. But the code you have here is not enough. Implementing an editor is not a trivial thing and can takes days or even weeks to implement correctly. I would not recommend attempting it unless you have a subscription that includes the Infragistics source code so you can use the exitsing editors as an example.
It would probably be easier for you to simply position the SyntaxEditor control over the cell in the grid that is being edited. But even this is not trivial and will require you to handle quite a few events of the grid.
Hi Mike
(It would probably be easier for you to simply position the SyntaxEditor control over the cell in the grid that is being edited)
Can i know how to implement this part? or any doc on this....basically
i have a requirement to have the Button Control With name.
or
EditorButton Style also will fulfill my requirement but i need to name for TextBox and Button
I think there might be a sample somewhere of positioning a control over a grid cell in the Infragistics Knowledge Base, but I'm not sure exactly where.

I'm not sure what this means. If you have a button in a cell, why does it need a name?

Again, I don't understand what you are asking for here. A name for what? When you click the button, you can determine the cell that the button is in.
I believe that the following is the Knowledge Base article that Mike was recalling:HOWTO: Use Custom Edit Controls in UltraWinGrid2
